Here's a question for those who have Oreo now.
How or have you got the pip feature working?
Split screen works but no mini window
Works with Google Maps during navigation, got some varied results from webvideos with Chrome. Youtube doesn't work at all.

Hi guys.
Just wondering what the state of JB is since I haven't upgraded my ROM in a while. I've been running CounterShrike 3.0.1 for months and it's been good, but I'd like to try Google Now and whatnot. Some specific questions about the "unofficial CM build" -- I don't really want all the tweaks and whatnot on other roms:
-Does Google Music work properly?
-Is there still artifacting when watching videos?
-Does video chat work?
-Does chrome work well?
-Less/more laggy than CM9?
Thanks

-Music players work but when you start Google music or Apollo they crash on the first try of playing a song, than it works normally when trying again (after the last update Google music seemed to have been fixed for some people)
-yes there's video tearing
-i haven't tried video chat, so wait for someone to answer that
-havent tried chrome but the default one works amazing. I tried Firefox on other ROMs and I think default is best but I'm sure it will work fine
-I find it smoother all around except for gaming. Cm 10.1 is not completely done so gaming isnt the best, it depends on what game your playing though. Some of my games are smooth as butter and some others are choppy
If you do choose a cm 10.1 ROM the unofficial one is good and its updated every 4th night

Yep planning on going with unofficial. I hardly watch videos on my phone so that doesn't really matter. Don't game either. Google Music is pretty crucial but if it works after closing and reopening that's fine.
Thanks for answering!

The video camera is hit or miss also, something to think about if you use it regularly.

Yeah I've heard it sometimes produces corrupted files. I've never recorded a video on my phone so that's cool
Video chat works also.
Video cam can be fixed with a few things. Right now my builds are just randomly rebooting but so far cam looks good.
Apollo(default music) gives me problems every now and then. But Google Play works great.
So i'm running CM 10.2.0-i9300
camera app works fine for photos and video.
recording video also works on instagram and whatsapp app
the problem is when i try to make a video on snapchat... the moment i press the record button the screen appears laggy like is 10fps, and when i release the button the snapchat try to play the video but it is laggy and the colors is messed up (my face looks blue and my eyes yellow).
I tried to low the video quality, force GPU render, force 4xMSAA, and HW overlay
please help.

When did you try out CM13? I'm running it on my PERSONAL phone (which is indeed a i9300). The phone is resonsive and really fast. It used to be slow but now it's fast.

Friends, if you own a V10, with Chrome and Google Cast, on both LP and Marshmallow, can PLEASE run this Test for me? I would really, really appreciate it!
1. Open Chome
2. Go to cnn.com or any site that has video streaming
3. Play the video in the browser until the Cast icon pops up
4. Cast to your TV
5. Once the video is running, pull down your notifications and click on the stream that's running from Google Cast to launch the full screen player controller window
6. Please report what happens? Does your video keep running and you are able to play with the video progress (Rewind, Forward with the slider) OR does it crash Chrome, loses the video controller on your phone, but the video keeps running on your TV?
Please report this on your phones as much as you can and please mention which ROM, Android version you are using.
Note: This has crashed for me since G3, G4 (LP), and the V10 (LP), wondering if I am the only one with this issue?
Thank you in advance for your testing!!! Would appreciate it DEEPLY if you could do this for me.
Ive used the google cast for sometime on my 6.0 (such loss of root, many sadness) and havent had any issues like that, all flawless except when i play any videos from chrome it makes my phone noticeably warm but otherwise okay. VS99022A Lg V10

Thank you so so much for your response and test, my friend. So just to be clear, I can cast fine as well. Yes, noticed the warmth, but works fine.
Now can you truly confirm that once your casting from your browser, and then you pull down the video details from notification drawer to control the progress of the video, it launches fine, doesn't crash, and you can move the video forward and backwards? ?
Thank you again! Sorry you lost root on MM. I'm on T-Mobile, we have it a little easier...

quick response due to email notifications! i just tried doing that and for me it completely exits the video if i try to go forwards at all and starts at the beginning if i go back... i think its something the bug team hasn't encountered yet and have to be told about it still. each phone model can act different even if they are almost similar, and just tested with my brothers S7 edge and it works fine, might be something with the V10 specific

Thanks for the quick response buddy. For me, since LG G3 on Verizon, to G4 on AT&T, to T-Mobile V10, when I launch the video through the notification drawer... It just crashes Chrome, the video keeps going, but nothing left on the phone to control the video ?... Wonder if it has to do with my Chromecast device? Since it's consistent on all these phone models from all these different carriers...
Thank you again for your test! Would love it if others can report too? Thank you all!
Hi there, I just got my mate 10 and was excited to try out pip mode. But to my immense disappointment, the YouTube app did not work in pip mode even though I had YouTube red. I tried everything on the support pages but nothing worked.

Can you send a screen recording of you using youtube in pip mode.
As for G maps, it only works when you are actually driving

I made it work, I don't think the VPN was working properly, and because I need YouTube Red which is only available in the US and Australia, it refused to work.
Thanks anyways

Whenever I launch youtube and play a video, the audio glitches out and the video skips to 27 hours.

Works fine here. Model (3rd/4th gen), size (7/9 inch), ROM and other basic details are needed if you want further help.
It's a 3rd gen 7 inch tablet from 2013 I think

If still running FireOS v4 (7j years old) then YouTube app will likely fail. Sideload a standalone browser such as Opera and enjoy YouTube that way.

I am running v4.5.5.3 And by likely, you mean that it would Probrably not work on it?

FireOS v4.5 is a highly skinned Android 4.4 variant that is 5+ years old and does not natively support Google core apps. Nor is it easy to load Google Play Services which the YouTube app leverages. So yea, it will *probably* fail.
I've seen other people here have been able to get it working along with the THOUSANDS of youtube videos on the topic. These videos don't go in depth on say running a video and just show them installing the app. Are those other people running v5.1 or something?

Well, given there are "THOUSANDS" of instructional videos it should take you no time getting YouTube up and running. I'll just step out of the way a let the experts lead the way ...
Tip: look for videos specifically targeting 3rd gen HDX hardware (screen size doesn't matter) running stock FireOS. It's doable if you don't mind investing hours, dealing with an unstable device and possibly spinning up a 'soft brick' depending on the methodology employed.
Alternatively, root/unlock and install a custom ROM + GAaps
Alternatively, sideload a high quality browser like Opera and play vids there
Alternatively, use a different device running near AOSP such as the Onn 8
Choose your poison wisely. Good luck.
Use browser.
Youtube app sucks since 2018
Older version stopped working after api updates 1 year ago
With silk browser you can choose video quality and get dark mode (the trick to enable its simple, open youtube and switch to desktop version , open configuration menu and enable dark mode,after that switch to mobile version and there is , full darkmode youtube)
If you wanna youtube app, Skytube works fine,you can see your suscriptions videos/ trendings and see comments.
You cannot see live streamings and comment,but its ok for me.
I have tried side-loading Youtube Vanced and NewPipe on my stock HDX 3rd, neither work. Vanced does the weird glitchy playback like you describe, and NewPipe just errors out. As others have said, I imagine it's because of this old Fire OS we're running.
Browser playback works fine. There is an Amazon app store app called 'Video For Youtube' that also works well, it even allows you to sign into your Youtube/Google account. It's free (I'm not the dev.)
